Celebs Out & About
T.I. posed with the LSLH Nuvo water girls at his going away party in Miami at a private mansion (I guess all the black chicks were busy working other gigs). I wish I had thought of packagaing filtered tap water in pretty bottles and selling them. I would be sitting on a beach in Saint-Tropez right now sipping Reisling wine instead of reading all this hate mail while blogging on Sandrarose.com.

This is how Tameka “Tiny” Cottle always rolls when she’s on the move: With a chick on either side of her. Don’t front, you know you would love to be Lil mama for one day! Tiny attended her man T.I.’s going away party at a private mansion in Miami over the weekend. I heard the party was well-attended by industry folk.

Kevin Liles attended T.I.’s party with Erika Jones — who has a lot in common with Gabrielle Union. Why is it that wealthy black men have a hard time distinguishing golddiggers from honest, decent hard working black women? If you recall, Erika once dated NBA player Shawn Marion, who almost put a ring on her finger (luckily, he came to his senses). Then she sort of bounced around the industry until she landed a Wall Street tycoon by the name of Londell something. He quickly sent her packing, and now she’s biding her time with Kevin Liles’ wallet.

No ma’am! Who does Eva Pigford think she is, Rihanna? Eva’s stylist should be brought up on charges for doing this to her!

Am I the only one thinking naughty thoughts about this picture of the lovely Dania Ramirez and industry bicycle Gabrielle Union?

WHERE’S CASSIE?
Chick magnet Sean “Diddy” Combs hosted the “Ultimate Daylife Affair” party at the Wet Republic pool at the MGM Grand Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday. Wouldn’t you love to be Diddy for a day?

Don’t get it twisted. I’m only posting two pics of Diddy from the same event because those kicks he’s wearing are tight.

Bloggers LT, aka Gyant (he named himself after a blog) and Kodak Boi (right) of KiddUNot.com attended T.I.’s going away party in Miami as well. Some of you may recall LT from this post I wrote up on him. At the time he was gainfully employed at SOHH.com, and thought he was the shit. Now he’s unemployed and still thinks he’s the shit.
Celebrity Seed
Madonna looked fly as she escorted adopted son David Banda to services at the Kabbalah Center in Manhattan on Saturday. I would rock that entire outfit that Madonna has on if I could afford it.
Actor Hugh Jackman (X-Men Wolverines) and his adopted son Oscar took a stroll through Manhattan over the weekend. Hugh and his wife also adopted a daughter after she suffered two miscarriages.
Comedian/actress Rosie O’Donnell attended Z100′s Zootopia 2009 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ with her adopted son Parker, 14, over the weekend. Rosie and her life partner Kelli Carpenter together adopted 2 other children. A fourth child was born to Carpenter through artificial insemination. And an adopted daughter was removed from the couple’s home after Florida enforced it’s own law prohibiting same sex couples from adopting.

Doesn’t Keyshia Cole look like she’s saying, “Come get some,” in this pic? Keyshia is back on the road performing with Keri Hilson, The Dream and Bobby Valentino. Her ‘Different Me’ tour hit Wisconsin and Chicago this weekend. I hear she’s traveling with her steady boyfriend who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I wonder which one he is? No, it isn’t Lebron! Savannah has him on lock. She put that love stick on him and he isn’t going anywhere!

Keyshia Cole brings her show home to Atlanta on Thursday (5/21) where she will perform at the fabulous Fox Theater. I’ll be there! I just need to find someone to go with me since my few good friends are married with children.

PR Diva Sherri Riley (GLUE, Inc), left, attended Dallas Austin’s annual black tie foundation benefit dinner at a private residence over the weekend. That’s Dallas (center) with his Aunt Clary Austin, right.

Chilli, who has a son with Dallas Austin (Tron) attended the benefit and posed with Jazze Pha, who some of my readers have a huge crush on. They just won’t admit it, but they know they LOVE them some Jazze!

I realize Michelle Obama is not a celebrity, so please hold your emails. The First lady had a ball at the recent University of California Commencement ceremonies. I wish I could say the same for the other tired folks around her who look bored out of their minds.

Don’t you want to say, “wake up sleepy head!,” when you look at this photo of MTV VJ La La Vazquez? She’s so adorable. Hopefully the Lakers fans will be kinder to her in the stands than those horrid Mavs fans were last week. La La’s man Carmelo and his Denver Nuggets take on Kobe Bean in the first game of the Western Conference Finals tomorrow night at the Staples Center. We don’t think the Nuggets have much of a chance against the Lakers, but we’re rooting for the Nuggets anyway!

I’m trying to figure out why the ladies (young and old) LOVE them some Soulja Boy so much. Is the little homie using sign language to tell us that he is packing something serious? Soulja Boy performed during Z100s Zootopia ’09 concert over the weekend.

Are Kool Aid Drinkers Souring On Obama?
****************************************************
Obamaholics, please pass on this post. I get sick and tired of reading your e-mails and your comments whenever I am critical of your boy, and I am afraid this is going to be one of those times.
~quote borrowed from Field Negro
****************************************************
According to Politico.com, some on the left are beginning to sour on Barack Hussein Obama. We here at Sandrarose.com wonder what took them so long?
Sandrarose.com voiced our opinions about Obama’s glaring lack of leadership qualities even before he took office. Way before he promised to uphold the constitution of the U.S., we knew he wouldn’t. And when he lied through his teeth and said he would provide relief to the Americans who lost their homes, we called him out on his lies. When Obama stood on his platform of Change and said, “Yes, we can,” Sandrarose.com knew he couldn’t.
Sandrarose.com also knew that Obama didn’t have the qualifications to run a McDonalds restaurant much less an entire country. His inexperience is very evident in his recent flip flopping on important issues. And let’s not forget he bowed down to another foreign leader!
Every day I field hostile emails from the uninformed asking me why I hate on a half black man. Rarely do I waste my time responding because these same readers would be up in arms if he was a white president flip flopping all over the place and spending your hard earned tax dollars on photos of a plane!
For liberals who viewed Obama as something of a savior after eight years of Bush, the discontents are piling up.
He has pushed gun control to the back burner, used the state secrets privilege to try to quash lawsuits over warrantless wiretapping, opposed a “truth commission” to investigate alleged torture and sought to deny some legal protections to detainees in Afghanistan.
And he’s made clear he’s in no rush to do immigration reform or repeal the military’s ban on openly gay servicemembers.
A growing number of organizations, bloggers and pundits, many of whom kept quiet about slights in Obama’s first few months, are now going public with their disillusionment.
“On torture, change we wanted to believe in feels like more of the same,” the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch said in a joint statement Friday.
On issues like the wiretapping suits, some critics have suggested Obama is even worse than Bush. READ MORE…

Celebs Out & About: Rihanna and Tyson Beckford
HERE COMES THE HAWT STEPPER
Rihanna was spotted leaving the trendy NYC eaterie Da Silvano restaurant on Saturday with one of Jay Z’s bodyguards in tow. We can’t put it into words how happy we are to see Rihanna come back from the depths of hail to reclaim her past Glory (at the expense of Beyonce who tried hard to step into RiRi’s vacant spot while she was gone, didn’t she?) We LOVE RiRi’s sense of style. Only she could pull off this look with those ugly boots and a huge snakeskin bag. I’m none too happy that her bag is made out of boa skin instead of the skin of the more unpredictable pythons. Hopefully that’s a fake boa skin bag. I’m told that RiRi is a fond reader of Sandrarose.com (who isn’t?), and if she ever wants to join my bustling, energetic — but rather small community, she is welcome!

They said Supermodel Tyson Beckford was in town last week but I thought it was just a rumor. Leave it to Prince Williams’ crew over at ATLPICS.net to find him! Tyson attended a fashion Show afterparty at Luckie Lounge on Thursday (5/14). As you know, Tyson stars in his own reality TV series “Make Me a Supermodel.” I’ve only seen two episodes and that was a month ago. I wonder who won?

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on in Washington?
Yesterday I told you that Barack Hussein Obama flip flopped on releasing the terrorist torture photos. Well, now he’s flip flopped again — this time on the Gitmo terrorist trials.
You may recall that even before Obama took office in January he announced plans to halt the legal proceedings at the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Obama was worried that the civil rights of those murderous terrorists were being violated. Remember that?
Remember how you sided with Obama and reached for whatever excuse you could pull out of the air to defend his crazy policy decisions? Well, hold onto your cups of Kool Aid because Obama has flipped again!
It’s kind of hard to defend the guy when you don’t know what side of the fence he will land on tomorrow.
President Barack Obama was today accused of a major U-turn after he decided to keep the controversial military commissions set up by George Bush to prosecute terror suspects.
The surprise White House announcement reversed Mr Obama’s campaign pledge to rely on America’s conventional criminal court system.
It was the president’s second U-turn this week after he changed his mind and pledged to try and block the court-ordered release of damning photographs showing US soldiers abusing prisoners.
Last night’s move led to an outcry from shocked human rights campaigners who thought Mr Obama intended to dismantle the terror tribunals after calling them ‘an enormous failure’ during last year’s presidential campaign. READ MORE…
